Description
I was sitting in front of my nice new (large) window, with my nice new view of downtown Fredericton (not to mention the trees and grass around the building - things I missed at my old place) drawing clouds (they're always moving, so I find them great to pull concepts from).Long story short I decided that instead of drawing something new, I should perhaps do something people would recognize. My playlist switched to an AMV featuring the song "At the Beginning", and I couldn't help but think of Gordan Freeman and Alyx Vance. Sad but true.
They were originally treated as two different images, so the lighting is a bit different between them. I'll tell you now though (as you are all aware), that's one bad-ass nerd on the left.
Hopefully this is in the right category - would be a shame if Half Life fans missed it.

Ha, I actually think that looks quite cute I love it how their expressions provide a contrast like that--it's actually pretty damn halarious.
Gordon rocks, we all know that XD I love the cartoonish detail you put in here, too. Nice work!

Fancy, fancy. I like how you simplified down their main features into these cartoon like replicas. I love these games.

Thanks. It was around the time when season 3 of Avatar was gearing up, so I was trying to keep it in mind while drawing.

Thanks.
It does seem odd seeing Gordan's face instead of his arms
Or is that what you meant by in the game?
